Job 13

1 “Hey, I [SYN] have seen everything [that you have seen], and I have heard and understood all [that you have said].

Ania karon, ang akong mata nakakita niining tanan, Ang igdulungog nako nakadungog ug nakasabut niini.

2 What you know, I also know; I do (not know less than/know as much as) you.

Ang inyong nahibaloan, mao ang akong nahibaloan usab: Ako dili ubos kaninyo.

3 But I would like to speak to Almighty God, [not to you]; I would like to argue with him [and prove that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong]).

Mosulti gayud ako sa Makagagahum, Ug gitinguha ko ang pagpakigsulti sa Dios.

4 As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me, like someone covers [up a bad surface of a wall] with whitewash [MET]. You are all like doctors [MET] [that give people] useless [medicines].

Apan kamo mga magmumugna sa bakak; Kamong tanan mga mananambal nga walay bili.

5 I wish/desire that you would be silent; that would be the wisest thing that you [could do].

Oh maayo pa unta kong kamo managhilum na lamang! Ug kana mahimo nga inyong kaalam.

6 Listen to what I will say to you now; listen while I am saying [what is true about myself].

Pamatia karon ang akong pangatarungan, Ug patalinghugi ang katarungan nga sa akong mga ngabil igasaysay.

7 Are you telling lies about me to prove God [is just in causing me to suffer]? Are you saying what is deceitful in order to benefit him?

Manulti ba kamog dili matarung tungod sa paglaban sa Dios, Ug igapamulong mo ba nga malimbongon tungod kaniya?

8 Are you trying to defend him? Are you trying to prove [as you would] in a court that he is innocent?

Magapakita ba kamo sa inyong pagpasulabi kaniya? Molaban ba kamo alang sa Dios?

9 If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good? Or can you deceive him, like you deceive other people?

Maayo ba nga siya magasusi kaninyo? Kun ingon sa usa nga nagalimbong sa tawo, limbongan ba ninyo siya?

10 If you secretly say/do things to cause God to act favorably toward you, he will surely rebuke you.

Sa walay duhaduha siya magabadlong kaninyo, Kong kamo sa tago may pagpasulabi.

11 He will certainly [RHQ] cause you to be terrified by his power/greatness; you will become extremely afraid.

Dili ba makapahadlok kaninyo ang iyang kahalangdon, Ug ang iyang kalisang kaninyo modangat?

12 The things that you say [that you think are] wise are [as useless as] [MET] as ashes; what you say to defend your opinions is no better than [MET] clay [that quickly crumbles].

Ang inyong mga halandumong pulong maoy sanglitanan nga abo, Ang inyong salipdanan, mga salipdanan nga yanang.

13 “So, be quiet and allow me to speak, and then it will not matter what happens to me.

Managhilum kamo, pasagdi ako, aron sa akong pagsulti: Ug kanako ipadangat ang tanan nga modangat.

14 I am ready to endure anything; I am [even] willing to risk being executed [IDM, DOU] [for what I will say].

Ngano man nga kuhaon ko ang akong unod sa mga ngipon nako, Ug ibutang ko ang akong kinabuhi sa kamot nako?

15 If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me, but I am going to defend my behavior in his presence [anyway].

Ania karon, iyang pagalaglagon ako: ako walay paglaum: Bisan pa niini, sa iyang atubangan ako magalaban sa akong mga alagianan.

16 No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God, [but because I say that I have not done things that are wrong], perhaps, if I can prove that to God, he will save me.”

Kini usab mao ang akong kaluwasan, Nga ang tawong walay Dios sa iyang atubangan dili gayud makaduol.

17 “God, listen very carefully to what I say [DOU].

Patalinghugi pag-ayo ang akong gipamulong, Ug sa imong igdulungog ipahaluna ang akong gipahayag.

18 I am ready to prove that I am innocent, and I know that you also will declare that I am not guilty.

Ania karon, gipahamutang ko na pag-ayo ang akong katarungan; Ako nasayud nga ako matarung.

19 I certainly do not think [RHQ] that [you or anyone else] will say that what I say is not true; if anyone did that, I would (be silent/stop talking) and die.

Kinsa ba ang buot makigbisog kanako? Kay unya mohilum ako ug ipabugto ko ang akong kinabuhi.

20 “I am requesting you to do two things for me; if you do them, I will (not hide from you/come and stand in front of you) [LIT].

Duruha lamang ka butang ayaw pagbuhata kanako; Nan ako dili motago gikan sa atubangan sa imong nawong.

21 [The first thing that I request is that you] stop punishing [IDM] me; and [the second thing that I request is that you] stop causing me to be very terrified.

Kuhaa halayo kanako ang imong kamot, Ug ayaw ako pagpahadloka sa imong kalisang.

22 You speak [first], and then I will reply; or allow me to speak first, and [then] you reply.

Unya tumawag ka, ug ako motubag; Kun pasultiha ako, ug tubagon mo ako.

23 What have I done that is wrong? What sins have I committed? Show me how I have disobeyed you.

Unsa ba ang gidaghanon sa akong kadautan ug kasal-anan? Ipadayag kanako ang akong kalapasan ug ang akong sala.

24 Why (do you refuse to be friendly with/have you abandoned) me [IDM]? Why do you (act toward me as though I am/consider me to be) your enemy?

Ngano man nga gitago mo ang imong nawong kanako, Ug ginaisip mo ako nga imong kaaway?

25 I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a leaf that is blown by the wind; why are you trying to cause me to be afraid [RHQ]? Why are you pursuing me? Am I [useless, nothing more than a bit of] dry chaff [RHQ]?

Mopaguol pa ba ikaw sa usa ka dahon nga sinalibay? Ug mogukod pa ba ikaw sa tuud nga laya?

26 [It seems that] you are writing things to accuse me [of doing things that are wrong], even recalling bad things that I did when I was young.

Kay ikaw nagasulat man ug mga butang nga mapait batok kanako, Ug nagapaani kanako sa kadautan sa akong pagkabatan-on:

27 [It is as though] you have fastened my feet with chains [to prevent me from walking], and you watch me wherever I walk; [It is as though] you even look closely at my footprints [to see where I have gone].

Imo usab nga gibutang sa sepohan ang akong mga tiil, Ug gitiman-an ang tanan ko nga alagianan; Imong gibadlisan ang utlanan sa lapalapa sa akong mga tiil:

28 [As a result], my body is decaying like [SIM] rotten wood, like a piece of cloth that is eaten by [larvae of] moths.”

Bisan ingon ako sa usa ka butang nga dunot nga mapapas, Ingon sa usa ka bisti nga ginakutkot sa tangkob.
